"Cole, you have finally achieved what you've been working for so tirelessly, and with great fervor, may I add," one of the trainees exclaimed, beaming with pride and admiration.

Another chimed in, "Your unparalleled talent, passion, and hard work will take you to the pinnacle of success, Cole. You will undoubtedly become a star in your own right."

“Cole, you're destined for greatness," another complimented Cole.

As the trainees continued to praise and congratulate him, Cole's patience wore thin.

He snapped, "I won't stoop so low as to rely on a rookie agent's ‘quota’.

"But Cole," one of the trainees interjected.

"This agent has a quota that the others don't. If you can make your debut with her, then go for it."

"Besides, switching agents in the future is always an option," another added.

“Judging by the fact that this fledgling agent has the ability to bring Sarah back into the limelight, it's clear that she possesses exceptional skills."

A wry grin appeared on Cole's lips as he held back his true thoughts. He had no interest in this agent named Ariana or her abilities to catapult him to stardom. After all, he was placed in the company by his aunt Donna, who wanted him to keep an eye on this rookie agent.

For Cole, it was merely a task that needed to be completed, and gaining fame was the least of his concerns.

As the group was discussing the new agent and the debut opportunity, their teacher for the body shaping lesson sauntered into the room.

Physique lessons were a weekly affair, and the topics covered were mundane at best. Despite their lack of enthusiasm, everyone in the room tried to participate to the best of their abilities. After all, they had to be cooperative if they wanted to get a chance to debut.

That was, except for Cole. He simply sat hunched in a corner, a hat pulled low over his eyes, while completely ignoring the teacher's droning.

Cole knew he would surely have an opportunity to debut and these classes were a waste of his time.

And to think, this loser of a teacher was lecturing him on body shaping. The very idea made Cole scoff in contempt.

Cole had no doubt that he would soon debut and Donna would arrange for the best teachers to promote his image.

The teacher, who Cole viewed as one of the losers, had no interest in getting involved in the drama. He was only there for his paycheck and chose to ignore Cole's antics.

As Cole was about to put on his earbuds, he caught a glimpse of a figure sneaking outside the open glass window. With lightning reflexes, he grabbed the cup beside him and flung it in the direction of the intruder.

‘There was a sudden loud crash as the cup shattered into a million pieces, sending shards flying everywhere.
